Recently, severe wear on the shutdown rod cladding of Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant #1, #2 were observed by the Eddy Current Test(E.C.T.). In particular, the wear at the sixth card location was up to 75%. The test results indicated that the Flow Induced Vibration(F.I.V.) might be the cause of the fretting wear resulting from the contact between Rod Cluster Control Assemblies(RCCAs) and their spacing cards(guide plates) arranged in the guide tube. From reviewing RCCAs fretting wear repots and analyzing the general characteristics of F.I.V. mechanism in the reactor, geometric layout and flow conditions around the control rod, it is concluded that the turbulence excitation is the most probable vibration mechanism of RCCA. To identify the governing mechanism of RCCA vibration, an experiment was performed for a representative rod position in which the most serious fretting wear experienced among the six rod positions. The experimental rig was designed and set up to satisfy the governing nondimensional numbers which are Reynolds number and mass damping parameter. The vibration amplitude measurement by the non-contact laser displacement sensor showed good agreements in the frequency and the maximum wearing(vibration) location with Ulchin E.C.T. results and Framatome report, respectively. The sudden increase in the vibration amplitude was sensed around the 6th guide plate with mass flow rate variation. Comparing the similitude rod behaviour with the idealized response of a cylinder in flow induced vibration, it was found that he dominant mechanism of vibration was transferred from turbulence excitation to periodic shedding at the mass flow ate 90ι/min. Also the critical velocity of the vibration in RCCAs was determined and the vibration can be prevented by reducing the bypass flow rate below the critical velocity.

This study presents how we can evaluate stereo camera systems for the structural deformation monitoring. A stereo camera system, consisting of a set of stereo cameras and reflective markers attached on the structure, is introduced for the measurement and the stereo pattern recognition (SPR) method is utilized for the full-field structural deformation estimation. Performance of this measurement system depends on many parameters including types and specifications of the cameras, locations and orientations of them, and sizes and positions of markers; it is difficult to experimentally identify the effects of each parameter on the measurement performance. In this study, a simulation framework for evaluating performance of the stereo camera systems with various parameters has been developed. The maximum normalized root-mean-square (RMS) error is defined as a representative index of stereo camera system performance. A plate structure is chosen for an introductory example. Its several modal harmonic vibrations are generated and estimated in the simulation framework. Two cases of simulations are conducted to see the effects of camera locations and the resolutions of the cameras. An experimental validation is carried out for a few selected cases from the simulations. Using the simultaneous laser displacement sensor (LDS) measurements as the reference, the measurement errors are obtained and compared with the simulations.

Low-temperature grown (LTG) InGaAs epilayers were grown by MBE technique for studying a correlation between terahertz (THz) emission and the intrinsic defects. The 1.2-um-thick Be-compensated LTG-InGaAs epilayers were prepared on SI-InP:Fe substrate at $200-250^{\circ}C$, and subsequently in-situ annealed under As environment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 5-30 minutes. The carrier concentration/mobility and the crystalline structure were analyzed by the Hall effect and the x-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively, and the carrier lifetime were determined by the fs time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. THz generation from LTG-InGaAs was carried out by a Ti-sapphire laser (800 nm) of a pulse width of 190 fs at a repetition of 76 MHz. Figure shows the spectral amplitude of generated waves in the THz region. As the growth temperature of epilayer increases, the amplitude is enhanced. However, two samples grown at $200^{\circ}C$, as-grown and annealed, show almost no difference in the spectral amplitude. This suggests that the growth temperature is critical in the formation of defect states involved in THz emission. We are now investigating the correlations between the XRD band attributed to defects, the Hall parameter, and the spectral amplitude of generated THz wave.

The point of impact, the shot group, and the flight traces depend on the combination of unique features which decide moving traces of the arrow (paradox of the archer, length of the arrow shaft, weight, angle of the feather, and spline of the arrow shaft). The more dense the impact points in the shot group and the earlier elimination of paradox of the archer, the higher assessment is given for the product. However, there is no way to objectively assess the efficiency and quality of the arrow, and there is no numeric data to be used as the basis for comparison with other products. Although capturing the images of flying arrow using a high-speed motion picture camera is possible, we are limited to observation from specific view angle only. Hence, the criteria for efficiency and quality assessment are mostly based on subjective opinions of experts or hunters, or review on consumers' remarks. In this paper, we propose a hardware composition that are based on three detection frames consisting of line lasers and photo diode arrays without the high-speed motion picture camera. Predicated on measured coordinates data, a nobel method for the archer's paradox measurement, a key parameter that determine the arrow's trajectory, and corresponding numerical analysis model is proposed.

This paper studies the effects of intake port configuration on the swirl that is key parameter in the flow field of direct injection diesel engines. In-cylinder flow characteristics is known to have significant effects on fuel air mixing, combustion and emissions. To investigate the swirl flow generated by various intake ports, steady state flow tests were conducted to evaluate the swirl. Helical port geometry, SCV shape and bypass were selected as the design parameters to increase the swirl flow and parametric study was performed to choose the optimal port shape that would generate a high swirl ratio efficiently. The results revealed that a key factor in generating a high swirl ratio was to suitably control the direction of the intake air flow passing through the valve seat. For these purposes, we changed the distance of helical and tangential port as well as installed bypass near the valve seat and the effects of intake port geometry on in-cylinder flow field were visualized by a laser sheet visualization method. From the experimental results, we found that the swirl ratio and mass flow rate had a trade off relation. In addition, the result indicates that the bypass is a effective method to increase the swirl ratio without sacrificing mass flow rate.

현재 반도체시장의 확장으로 인해서 기존의 300mm 웨이퍼에서 450mm의 웨이퍼를 사용하는 공정으로 변화하는 추세이다. 450mm 웨이퍼로 대면적 화되면서 기존 300mm 공정 때보다 훨씬 효율적인 플라즈마 소스 즉, 고밀도이고, 고균등화(high uniformity) 플라즈마 소스를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 고밀도 플라즈마 소스인 유도 결합형 플라즈마(Inductively Coupled Plasma ; ICP)에 축 방향의 약한 자기장을 인가시킨 자화된 유도결합형 플라즈마(Magnetized Inductively Coupled Plasma : MICP)[1]를 제안하여 기존 ICP와의 차이점을 살펴보았다. 실험 방법으로 레이저 유기 형광법(Laser Induced Fluorescence : LIF)[2]을 이용하여 플라즈마 쉬스(Sheath) 내의 전기장을 외부 자기장의 변화에 따라 높이별로 측정하고 그 결과로부터 쉬스의 전기적 특성을 살펴보았다. 플라즈마의 특성상 탐침이나 전극에 전압을 인가하면 그 주위로 디바이 차폐(Debye Shielding)현상이 일어나서 플라즈마 왜곡이 일어난다. 그렇기에 플라즈마, 특히 플라즈마 쉬스의 특성을 파악하기 위해서 레이저라는 기술을 사용하였다. 레이저는 고가의 장비이고 그 사용에 많은 경험지식(know-how)를 필요로 하지만 플라즈마를 왜곡시키지 않고, 플라즈마의 밀도, 온도, 전기장 등 많은 상수(parameter)들을 얻어 낼 수 있다. 또한 3차원적으로 높은 분해능을 가지고 있는 장점이 있다. 강한 전기장이 있는 곳에서 입자들의 고에너지 준위가 전기장의 세기에 비례하여 분리되는 Stark effect[3] 이론을 이용하여 플라즈마 쉬스내의 전기장을 측정하였다. 실험은 헬륨가스 700mTorr 압력에서 이루어졌다. 기판의 파워를 50W에서 300W까지 변화시키면서 기판에 생기는 쉬스의 전기장의 변화를 살펴보았고, 자기장을 인가한 후 동일한 실험을 하여 자기장의 유무에 따른 플라즈마 쉬스의 전기장 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험결과 플라즈마 쉬스의 전기장의 변화는 기판의 파워와 플라즈마 밀도에 크게 의존함을 알았다. 기판의 파워가 커질수록 쉬스의 전기장은 커지고, 기판에 생기는 Self Bias Voltage역시 음의 방향으로 커짐을 확인 하였다. 또한 자기장을 걸어주었을 경우 쉬스의 두께가 얇아짐으로써 플라즈마의 밀도가 증가했음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

We present a theoretical research concerning terahertz (THz) wave generation with $KTiOPO_4$ (KTP) by collinear phase matching (CPM) stimulated polariton scattering (SPS). Both CPM and corresponding nonzero nonlinear coefficients can be simultaneously realized with $s{\rightarrow}f+f$ in yz plane, $s{\rightarrow}f+s$ with ${\theta}$ < ${\Omega}$ in xz plane and $s{\rightarrow}f+f$ with ${\theta}$ < ${\Omega}$ in xz plane. The effective nonlinear coefficients including electronic nonlinearities and ionic nonlinearities are calculated. Based on the parameter values of refractive indices, absorption coefficients and effective nonlinear coefficients, we simulate THz wave intensities generated with CPM SPS by solving coupled wave equations and give the relationship among the maximum THz wave intensity, optimal crystal length and the angle ${\theta}$. The calculation results demonstrate that CPM SPS with KTP can generate THz waves with high intensities and quantum conversion efficiencies.

The control of diamond turning is usually achieved through a laser-interferometer feedback of slide position. The limitation of this control scheme is that the feedback signal does not account for additional dynamics of the tool post and the material removal process. If the tool post is rigid and the material removal process is relatively static, then such a non-collocated position feedback control scheme may surfice. However, as the accuracy requirement gets tighter and desired surface cnotours become more complex, the need for a direct tool-tip sensing becomes inevitable. The physical constraints of the machining process prohibit any reasonable implementation of a tool-tip motion measurement. It is proposed that the measured force normal to the face of the workpiece can be filtered through an appropriate admittance transfer function to result in the estimated dapth of cut. This can be compared to the desired depth of cut to generate the adjustment control action in additn to position feedback control. In this work, the design methodology on the admittance model-based control with a conventional controller is presented. The recursive least-squares algorithm with forgetting factor is proposed to identify the parameters and update the cutting process in real time. The normal cutting forces are measured to identify the cutting dynamics in the real diamond turning process using the precision dynamoneter. Based on the parameter estimation of cutting dynamics and the admitance model-based nanodynamic control scheme, simulation results are shown.

구조물의 변위는 안전성 및 성능 평가에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나로서 교량의 안전진단 및 유지관리에 활용하기 위해 외력에 의한 변위를 측정한다. 이러한 변위는 일반적으로 LVDT, 레이저 또는 GNSS를 이용하여 측정하고 있지만 교량의 환경조건 또는 비용적 측면에서 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 경사계에 의한 회전각 계측데이터를 이용하여 변위를 산정하였으며 알고리즘 검증을 위해 모형시험 및 현장시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제시된 알고리즘을 통해 케이블교량의 차량하중 및 온도하중에 의한 수직변위를 적절하게 산정할 수 있었다. 따라서 차량재하시험에 의한 변위 측정 또는 장기적인 변위 모니터링에 본 연구의 변위 산정 알고리즘이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to classify the shapes of retromolar pads and assess their morphometric differences using a 3D model. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two hundred fully edentulous or Kennedy Class I partially edentulous patients (400 retromolar pads) were enrolled. Scan data of the definitive mandibular casts produced through functional impressions were obtained using a 3D laser scanner. Seven parameters (transverse diameter, longitudinal diameter, transverse-contour length, longitudinal-contour length, longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio, longitudinal/transverse-contour length ratio, and angle of the retromolar pad line to the residual alveolar ridge line) were measured using image analysis software. Subsequently, the pads were classified according to the shape. Statistical analyses were performed using 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS. Classifying the retromolar pads into three shapes led to high intra-examiner reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.933). The pear shape was the most common (56.5%), followed by oval/round (27.7%) and triangular (15.8%) shapes. There were no significant differences between the left and right sides according to the shape and no significant differences in any parameter according to age. The transverse diameter and longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio differed between sexes (P < .05). The triangular shape had a significantly different transverse diameter, transverse-contour length, longitudinal/transverse diameter ratio, and longitudinal/transverse-contour length ratio compared with the pear and oval/round shapes (P < .05). CONCLUSION. From a clinical reliability standpoint, classifying retromolar pads into three shapes (oval/round, pear-shaped, and triangular) is effective. The differences in the sizes among the shapes were attributed to the transverse measurement values.
